Driverless Car! Thanks to Google!



Well, guys it is time to gear up for a nice ride! No actually, you don’t need to, especially if you are looking at driving a car. The reason? Ladies and gentlemen please brace yourselves to welcome Google’s driverless car! But maybe, few years from now! Google, tussi great ho! I don’t know how many of you have read about this driverless car, so I just thought I will share a thing or two about this amazing new development I read about on the Forbes Magazine portal. To begin with, hold your breath, as this car has potential worth trillions. While on the one hand this monumental development has in store business opportunities which can overshadow the current search engine leader, at the same time it will have serious repercussions on auto related businesses. On the brighter side there are claims that such a wonder car can –
  •    Decrease the number of traffic accidents
  •    Time and energy wasted on commuting from one place to other and
  •    Reduction in the number of cars

So basically, if such world class cars by Google come about, we will have safer roads, where in the deaths, injuries and direct implications of road accidents would be significantly reduced. All these things would come as a huge relief for WHO. According to studies and statistics on road traffic mishaps by WHO, road traffic injuries is going to be fifth major cause of worldwide death by year 2030, making up for 3.6% in all. Now, this car could be good news for developing countries like India, as we would not have to reproduce car centric infrastructure characteristic to the western world. And save a lot of money! Ha! Hah! Google’s driverless car will also aid in reducing pollution! But this will be bad news for spare part dealers, emergency care centres in hospitals, car insurance providers or even the need for a car which is very strong enough to take a real beating by another one.
It will be amazing and interesting to see how the colossal car related investments are channelized if some of the basic assumptions were based on this driverless car! In a nutshell folks, such a car not just makes for a fabulous paradigmatic shift in auto technology, but  it could render tremendous socio-economic advantages the world over.
I will vroom off here! Will keep you posted on this!

Sensational Shreya Regales Puneites

There was a shimmering veil of melody ensconcing the air on the evening of 21 st February, 2016 at Law College Ground, Pune. The audience was mesmerized, ecstatic, excited and touched, all at the same time. And this can only happen when the queen of melody herself, Shreya Ghoshal creates magic with her singing. In what was her first solo concert in Pune, organized by ‘Sa’ Creations, Shreya Ghoshal (once again) proved as to why she has been touted as the queen of melody.  She also reiterated the reason why almost no film made in the past decade or so has been without atleast one song sung by her. Absolutely beautiful renditions dotted this musical evening.  The yesteryear Saregamapa winner started off with ‘bahara’ from ‘I hate Luv stories’. From that point onwards, it was a fabulous treat for the ‘Rasik Punekars.’  In Shreya’s words, it is as great a pleasure as well as a responsibility to sing in front of such a knowledgeable and musically inclined audience.  Shreya went on to rega

Being Single – Cool or Uncool?

Hmm…..This is one thing I have been wondering since quite some time now. How good or bad is it, being single. Well, depends what kind of people you are surrounded with. If you are surrounded by oh-so-much in love couples, sneaking private moments in public, you are sure to feel left out sometimes. In case you have a majority of friends who are single and ready to mingle, then life I think is a bit better.  The worst part, I feel about being single when your friends are either married or engaged is that they keep on telling you – ‘why don’t you do something?’ Haha, well? I really blow my brains off thinking what do they mean by do something? Do they mean I should carry a placard saying ‘Here! I am single, any takers there?’ or do they mean I should be on a man prowl or something by going around in discs and night clubs? Frankly, I am yet to find an answer. But one thing is for sure, when all your friends are taken, you miss out on the girl time you have spent earlier when they were si

Come Back

Well, its been a very long time dearest blog since i exploited your blank white space with the umpteen words in my kitty. Normally i am so short on words after i finish my day's quota of articles that i am sapped of my typing energy. But today after a long time i got this adrenaline rush to write on my blog.. (i guess credit goes to my sister in law). Thus, coming back to happenings in my life, nothing much is happening in life, at the same time, there is something happening in the website office i work for everyday. Each day comes with a promise for a 'happening' at the workplace. Apart from that, one of my best buddies from the Pune Universty will hopefully be in town by tomorrow. I have great buddies in the office too and we make things bearable for each other. While we three (me and my other two buddies the office) stumble upon every single day, our trinity seems to be 'fevicol ka majbot jod hai tootega nahi', atleast as of now. Dunno where life will take us, bu
